Here, let me give it a try.limousinedriverMay 29 2007, 09:39:17 UTC
I don't really claim to know much about this crap. And to be honest, my eyes tend to glaze over whenever you start to talk about it since...um...I never know what the hell you're talking about.
Having said that, screw you. I'M gonna fill it out for you. Let's go with FF7, since it's tried and true.
1. First character you liked: I'm guessing the big S. 2. I can only assume Tifa, although I gather that's more a KH-inspired obsession. 3. The big C. 4. Does ANYONE hate ANYONE? Maybe Cait Sith. I really can't say on this one. 5. Geeze. Let me think. 6. Okay, I admit I got no clue here. 7. Again with the C. 8. Tifa/Seph seems to turn your crank. Not as much as another pairing I could mention... >.> 9. Cloud/Seph. Specifically Seph being the prissy fem-bitch setup. 10. Um...1 5 and 10 seem to be the same question.
Additional:
Five favourite things: Sephiroth. He should probably count as 2. Actually, you know what? He counts as 5.
Five least favourite things.... Hmm.. all the fics that pair Cloud and Sephiroth. Actually come to think of it... that also counts as 5.
Five favourite characters...yeah. === Bah screw it, I don't know a damn thing for the rest of it. I was just poking fun anyway. Give me a list of fandoms to choose from and then maybe I'll ask for one of 'em.

Haha, you got quite a few of these:
1. Correct! 2. Correct, although it actually had nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts and everything to do with all the Seph/Cloud fanbrats dumping on her constantly. I didn't think that was justified and started thinking all the good things about her, and then... well, I got to really like her. ^^ 3. Oddly enough, no. This would probably be Reno or Rude, or the Turks in general. Not that I dislike them or anything - I enjoyed their antics in Advent Children - but I have no particular fondness for them. Yet half the fandom seems obsessed with them 4. Given the rabidness of Seph/Cloud and Cloud/Aeris shippers, I'd say Tifa, actually. Failing that, I have a special fondness for Barret and think he's awesome, but a lot of fics ignore his existance. 5. YESH. ^_^ 6. After careful thought, I'd probably say Aeris. She's adorable, spunky, and got a pervy sense of humor, while still managing to be this pure and innocent angel. 7. You're right, I'd probably slap Cloud. I don't dislike him as much as I used to. Actually, I'd also slap Sephiroth but for totally different reasons (more of a "slap him out of it" than "slap him because he's an ass" thing) 8. Yeah, you got both of those right. 9. You got the pairing right, but not the setup... I actually don't mind reading Sephiroth as the uke sometimes. Although you're right in that turning him into a whimpering weepy uke totally sucks. But then, I just dislike the pairing in general. 10. *snicker*
What are your five favorite things about your fandom?
- Sephiroth (LOL) - that there are so many potential interpretations for EVERYTHING - similarly, that there are so many different things and characters to write about, from Lucretia's first meeting with Vincent to ShinRa business to the ending itself - every character is either attractive, kickass, or attractive and kickass - there's an abundance of fic for it
What are your five least favorite things about your fandom?
- the fact that there is SO much gay!Sephiroth fanfic and relatively few straight!Sephiroth fics, especially when it comes to smut. This could actually count as all five least favourite things, as it's a MAJOR pet peeve for me. Dear fandom, I understand the gay is pretty, but it IS possible to write him as straight! - Tifa bashing. Oh holy shit, this could also count as five. Look, gang, she is NOT a bad person, nor is she trying to ruin Cloud's life/relationships! She is a decent human being who, despite some mistakes, truly cares for Cloud and - get this - he cares for her too! Seeing fanbrats bash Tifa just throws me into a huge towering fandom rage. So lame. - the shipping wars. Look, I'm really happy you think Cloud and Aeris are the ultimate example of true love, miss random internet person... the fact that I happen to think that Cloud and Tifa are adorable together does nothing to ruin your belief, nor does it mean I burn children and eat their flaming corpses. - Elitists versus idiot noobs. I am not impressed by the influx of new fans who don't know crap about the game. Similarly, if someone wants to only consider the original game canon, that's totally fine (I do the same) but that doesn't make them somehow smarter. - There might be an abundance of fanfic, but that means an abundance of crap.
Who are your five favorite characters?
Sephiroth (x5) Tifa Aeris Vincent (for the pretty) Tie between Barret and Cloud
Who are your five least favorite characters?
Rufus Cait Sith (though I don't mind him much) Red XIII (ditto, I like him but am not falling over myself to read stuff about him) Cid Cloud (yes, he's ALSO on my fave character list, he just pisses me off sometimes)
Re: Here, let me give it a try.usagivindalooMay 30 2007, 19:51:01 UTC
What are your five favorite pairings?
Sephiroth/Tifa Sephiroth/Aeris Cloud/Tifa Cloud/Aeris Tifa/Vincent (sometimes get the random urge to read it) (If we count threesomes, I like Seph/Tifa/Cloud and Tifa/Seph/Aeris, and if we do crossovers, obviously Sephiroth/Hotaru trumps all)
What are your five least favorite pairings?
Sephiroth/Cloud (x5) Sephiroth/male characters in general Cloud/Vincent Cloud/Reno Sephiroth/Yuffie
Which character are you most like?
Huh, that's a tough one. I'd say... toss up between Aeris and Tifa. Not quite as "angelic" as Aeris but I have the pervy humor; not quite as tough and non-emotive as Tifa, but I like to think I'm as kind.
What is your deep, dark fandom secret?
THAT I AM NOT A YAOI FANGIRL LULZ. Seriously, not sure I have one, other than the fact that I do sometimes wish people would stop writing yaoi for the fandom... not because it's necessarily bad, mind you, but because it's so damn hard to find the het mixed in with it. When you're trying to dig out one het fic from fifty yaoi, you can't help but wish the yaoi writers had written a little less. >.> However, I keep trying to remind myself that wanting people to stop writing yaoi is incredibly selfish and entitled, so I keep it as... MY DEEP DARK FANDOM SECRET. XD
Right, since it seems no one else is going to be posting to this list (I don't know why, but people pass over my fandoms memes all the time ;_;) please go ahead and ask me about one of the following fandoms if you like:
Sailor Moon Firefly Kingdom Hearts Final Fantasy 6 Disney's Beauty and the Beast Pirates of the Carribean Naruto (up to timeskip) Red Dwarf (though considering there are only four to six characters, that'd be rather difficult to fill out a meme for XD) Star Trek (vague knowledge of all series except Enterprise) Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (used to read some fic for it) Lord of the Rings (movies only) Tiny TINY bit of X-Men (mostly only bits of the cartoon and Joss Whedon's run on Astonishing)
I would LOVE to do this meme for the two series I'm working on as well, but unfortunately that would likely be a massive breach of NDA, so ;_;. Too bad, I actually have reasonably strong opinions re: one of the series and this meme.
